Better late than never

It's nice to see that the NY Times has finally gotten the word that the Attorney-gate story is front page news:

WASHINGTON, March 12 — The White House was deeply involved in the decision late last year to dismiss federal prosecutors, including some who had been criticized by Republican lawmakers, administration officials said Monday.

Last October, President Bush spoke with Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales to pass along concerns by Republicans that some prosecutors were not aggressively addressing voter fraud, the White House said Monday. Senator Pete V. Domenici, Republican of New Mexico, was among the politicians who complained directly to the president, according to an administration official.

It sure took them long enough.

Update:

TPM Muckraker has a good summary of the latest news on the case. If it didn't look juicy enough before, it's getting really juicy now.
